Flying Battery Act 1
|
General Information- Name: Thanatos Daimonas Alias: Thanatos, Death, Crow (Presently a very tentative nickname, that may or may not actually work its way into a story I'm writing.), Buredo (Meaning 'Sword'. Extremely tentative. Related to a role-play which fits within the canon of my universe. For the sake of not drifting onto another's work in that role-play, I'll be avoiding including anything else related to it directly with the bio. At least, until the role-play finishes, so that I can be certain that it fits within the canon, and so I see if I can receive permission to include it. I'm unsure of the language of origin.) Age: Sixteen Birth Date: Presently, an undetermined date on a presently unwritten timeline. Species: Cat Gender: Male Height: Undetermined, due to its general irrelevance. He's relatively tall, but not so much that you could point him out because of his height. Weight: Undetermined, but relatively light for reasons that will come up eventually. Dominate Hand: Right Birth Place: Unknown, due to something that with come up later. Residence: None, presently. However, he does consider the temple in the cliff to be his home. Occupation: Swordsman for hire is probably the best description. Economic Class: Lower class. Marital Status: Single, yet taken. Alignment: Anarchic Neutral/Convenience Hero Universe of Origin: A universe of his own. Personality- Thanatos is generally quiet and avoids interaction that is unnecessary, however he is well known for being courteous when he does in fact interact with others. He's relatively known for looking sad, but on the rare occasions that he smiles he is said to be brilliant. He isn't known for rushing into anything, friendships in particular. If he becomes friends with someone, it's after having known them for at least some span of time, particularly because he's fairly disinclined to trusting people immediately. He doesn't place a high value on many things, his few personal possessions being a testament to this. He does, however, place a high value on those he truly cares for, and his cloak of black feathers symbolizes his feelings for one person in particular. Despite his mistrusting nature to strangers, he does always strive to assume that they have the best of intentions, and as such avoids manipulating them to achieve his own goals. Personal Relations- Close Friends: Xechaste, who was once his teacher. Friends: Presently being left blank, due to the aforementioned roleplay that I'm attempting to avoid touching upon for the moment. Romantic Interests: 'Her', which will be explained a little bit later on. No others will be mentioned, due to either spoilers for a story I'm attempting to write, or touching upon the roleplay I'm attempting to avoid. Rivals: Presently being left blank because of, again, the said roleplay. Enemies: Daímonas, a demon spirit who was drawn into this world by cultists with the hope of using Thánatos as host body. The cultist, although they are deceased. Some others, but this would again be touching upon the story or the roleplay. Relatives: None as far as he knows, but he views Xechaste as a father. Affiliations: He is connected to the following of the whispering god, to an extent. Personal Information- Hobbies: Collecting feathers, for the sake of lengthening his cloak. Building feather cloaks in general. Talents: Swordsmanship, feather weaving. Very, very mild magical potency, but it can't be touched without the assistance of an outside influence or item. Habits: He bites his hand when in bed, due to nightmares. Likes: Feathers. Dislikes: Anyone overly impulsive. Others being sad. Preferred Food: Undetermined. Preferred Drink: None, but blood is needed to recover from the usage of one of his powers. Theme Song: Live Free Or Let Me Die~ Skillet (To note, the song is more sung at his heart, than by his heart. Directed towards, more than unleashed from.) Physical Appearance- Fur Colour: Pitch-Black Skin Colour: Pale Eye Colour: Deep Blue Hair Colour: Pitch-Black Build: Relatively skinny, but mildly (mildly!) muscular. Other Features: Bite-mark scar on his right hand. Absolutely beautiful to behold him, when he's smiling. Attire: Ganti tis Kolasis[Gauntlet of Hell, on right hand. Black in colour, with what appears to be blood stains on it.], Ta dakrya tis Pterygas[Tears of the Wing, grey shoes with silver markings in the shape of tears on the sides], A black cloak made of feathers Combat Information- Battle Psychology: Thanatos is rather... Direct, when it comes to combat. He uses a sword, and he depends upon speed and athleticism. But, if his opponent is weak enough that this isn't required, he will pretty much just cut them to pieces. Weaponry & Items: The Ganti tis Kolasis is his primary weapon. It's a black gauntlet, with what appears to be blood stains on it. Generally speaking, its purpose is summoning a deep red sword, which swirls with energies of darkness. To use it, the wielder must remove the gauntlet from their hand, bite into their flesh, and let their own blood. After this is accomplished, they are to replace the gauntlet on their hand, and use the incantation of calling to summon the blade. The effects of the blood loss from using the sword do not appear until after it is sent back to the abyss from whence it came. Thanatos' secondary weapon is the Ta dakrya tis Pterygas. They are grey shoes, with silver markings in the shape of tears on the sides. The details of how their powers are used has never been explored in detail, but it is required for the user to be wearing the shoes at the time. Depending on how the one, written, use of them is read, it may be interpreted as the incantation being the name of the person the user cares for the most. This is possible, although never truly explored. When the power of these shoes is used, the silver tears on the sides turn into a sky blue. The power it offers the wielder, simply put, is the ability to transcend the speed of light (Hence the second part of the name). However, the cost is vast. If one were to use them, they would lose the name of the one they care for the most from their memory for all eternity. They will be unable to hear the word ever again if it is spoken, but they will be able to recognize it despite this inability to remember. The worst aspect of the cost is the pain it causes the user when they are near this loved one after they use the ability. The pain begins on a level just large enough to cause the user to cry (Hence the first part of the name), but it grows progressively. Eventually, being around said loved one will have the wielder bedridden, and possibly even dead if they do not leave their loved one soon. Spells & Techniques: Thanatos has a very small arsenal of magical ability. His main spell is the one he uses to summon the demonic sword with his gauntlet. It is as follows: "Oh, Sword of the Demons.. I call upon thee, Ganti tis Kolasis, for I am your master. I am Thanatos Daimonas." There have been variations to this, because it is really just a summoning through authority. Depending on the particular circumstances, he might refer to himself as something other than just his name. And, of course, if another person were to use the gauntlet, they would have to use their own name. As mentioned previously, using his shoes might require an incantation as well. That incantation would be the name of the loved one, if this is to be determined as definite. Skills & Aptitudes: Thanatos is moderately athletic, and an adept swordsman. Unlike many people (Within the bounds of his own universe, at least), who thrive under light energies, his power increases with dark energies. Because of his affinity with darkness, drinking small amounts of blood can help him recover from blood loss or exhaustion relatively quickly, but no more than this. He has a very minute amount of magical ability, but to use it he requires an item to focus and channel it, such as his glove or shoes. Weaknesses: Thanatos has asthma. To note: Normally, this affects him. However, when he summons his sword that swirls with energies of darkness or goes to an area full of energies of darkness, his strength increase to the point where his asthma no longer affects him. That brings me to his gauntlet. It offers him great power, but the cost in terms of blood is large and, when the effects of blood loss combine with his naturally asthmatic nature, he becomes vastly weak after he has sent his sword back into the abyss. He is also held back from using the vastly more useful power of his shoes, in part because of their potential side effects. But also because of a particular, traumatic event in his past which strongly inclines him to avoid using their power again. History- Thanatos' birth place is unknown, due to the fact that he was abducted at about three years old. His abductees were cultists in dark magic, who's goal was to bring a demon spirit into the world of the living. They believed that the end of all life would be perfection, and that they would all move onto the world of the dead. The domain of the demons. For the first three years of his abduction, Thanatos went through many physical and mental tortures, to the point that he was ready to die. At six, his training began. Now that he had been tested to be able to survive great pain, the cultists were prepared to train Thanatos, so that he would be powerful enough to withhold the demon spirit's power when it was finally transferred into him. His soul would be forever lost, but the body would be powerful enough for a demon. So the cultists gave the young Thanatos a weapon, known as Ganti tis Kolasis, and set monster after monster to fight him. It took him a year before he could finally activate his Ganti tis Kolasis, and it took him three more to be powerful enough to defeat all the monsters set against him. At ten, Thanatos was nearly prepared for the demon spirit. The cultists came to him, and told him that there was one final ritual that needed to be done before he could be freed. And that, once he was free, they would give him the other item his power could use. The Ta dakrya tis Pterygas. The ritual began, and the cultists turned on Thanatos. They brought him down to the ground, and used blades to cut his torso open. As he died slowly, the cultists summoned the Demon Spirit. Their plan was to implant it into Thanatos' torn open torso, but the Demonic energies swirling through the air caused an instantaneous recovery of Thanatos' injuries, making him completely scar-less. The Demon Spirit turned on the cultists, in a rage at them for being summoned into the world of the living. The cultists were unable to control it without it being within Thanatos' body, and they were slain. The spirit escaped, leaving Thanatos, mysteriously, alive. Thanatos then saw that he was free, and left to find a true home. Before leaving, he found the Ta dakrya tis Pterygas, and learned the method of usage, and it's cost. At this time, he had no people close to him, so using it had no cost during his training. By thirteen, Thanatos was roaming the world, unsure of what he could consider his home. One day, he met... "Her." "Her" name will always be a shadow, a dark spot in his memories. Thanatos remained with "her" for nearly two months, and became very attached to "her." And then the Demon Spirit returned. It was scared. And it was dangerous. It was possibly the most dangerous being in the world. It feared, because it didn't know how to return to it's home, the world of the dead. It suspected though, that if it entered a host, and the host died, it would return. And the only host that would be compatible with it was Thanatos. This is why it spared him those months ago. So it came for him, came to take his body and use it to go home. Thanatos couldn't give up on the happy life he had finally found for himself though. The Demon Spirit became enraged with him, and normally it would have killed him. But, it needed him. It needed him to return to it's home. So it took "her," and ran. To draw Thanatos into a trap, and take him. If Thanatos wouldn't willingly finish the ritual, the Demon Spirit would trick him into returning to the room, and then force him to do it. Thanatos didn't want to die, he didn't want to lose himself to the Demon Spirit. And yet, he couldn't let it kill "her." If he did, he would never be able to live with himself. His final option was the Ta dakrya tis Pterygas. He used it's power, along with his Ganti tis Kolasis to take "her" back from the Demon Spirit. The Spirit barely escaped, and before it left it revealed it's name. Daimonas. It told Thanatos that he too would bear this name, as a curse. A curse to remind him just what kind of thing he had made enemies with. And so, Thanatos turned to "her" and he cried. He cried because to save "her", he lost "her". It hurt. So very much, more than the pain that Ta dakrya tis Pterygas was causing. This was the worst of it's costs by far. He left "her", and began a dark, sad journey. On this journey, he collected black feathers to show his mourning, and slowly made a cloak out of it. Presently, this cloak reaches just below his knees. Author's Side notes- This is the second time I've written a character bio for Thánatos, and so I consider it a 'v2.0' of sorts. The original has many similarities, but I used a different format. A lot of the information is completely rewritten in the new version of the bio, but because I couldn't be bothered to rewrite it right now the backstory information is basically directly copy-pasted from the old one. Might rewrite the backstory information itself eventually. Ah, yes. I've written some aspects of his past in story form, so I'll put links to them in chronological order here.

Thank you. xD Yes, sadness is certainly something that can be expected with this character. It's one of the central themes that blended into his initial creation quite some time ago. |
